My voice has deepened and I can't really reach the high notes anymore. I'm not sure how I sound after all these years. I think that if I tried, it would sound all right. But I can't live down the fact that no matter how I try, it won't be good as Paul. That's why.

You could say the same for all of those who have covered the Beatles music since it was first released. Its not something that should put you off. The Beatles were always honoured to have their songs performed by other artists as they themselves ...]]>

The songshttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/your-first-beatles-songs/page-6/#p129003I don't really know. The first song I remember knowing it being by the Beatles is Yellow Submarine.

I vaguely remember a teacher showing us the album cover for Sgt. Pepper when I was probably around 8 or something.

The songshttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/your-first-beatles-songs/page-6/#p128986Not american, but we also learned Submarine in music class a few years ago.

The teacher looked strangely like Paul does now, actually... it's been a few years, but my god.

Then, like virtually every other young American student, I learned Yellow Submarine (and a few others, can't remember which) in music class.

The songshttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/your-first-beatles-songs/page-6/#p128874The Beatles figured prominently in my youth. The first popular song I can remember was Fool on the Hill, I think I was 3. We were on vacation in California, and I heard it several times in my parents' friends' brand new red Olds Toronado. It was so luxurious, I got my finger caught in the door and there was so much softly insulated space between the metal door and frame that my finger fit without injury. The songs on MMT are among my most favorite Beatles songs, so obviously it was played in my household (Dad had the last ...]]>Sun, 06 Jul 2014 15:14:59 +0100SeraTheBeatle on Your First Beatles Songshttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/your-first-beatles-songs/page-6/#p128662
The songshttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/your-first-beatles-songs/page-6/#p128662Sadly enough, they never gave us a "Beatles experience" at school. What I mean by that... I mean they never put on any Beatles songs/videos/or lessons exept for this one time in 5th grade where we were learning about the 1900's. Anyways... I first listened to Twist And Shout back in 2009. I really have no memory of how or where I listened to it... but for all I know it was the first Beatles song that I listened and fell in love with.

I think mine was Here Comes The Sun and Hey Jude. BUT the ones I heard were actually song covers, so when I actually listened to the real deal of Hey Jude, I said, "A GUY sings this?!" Never did I realize that the song was also written 30 years before I was born by the greatest band on Earth.

@JauntyMonty Just out of interest, whose cover of Hey Judedid you hear?

not knowing that it was customary to release non-album singles (a practice I despise.)

Yeah, that really annoys me. A lot of the more obscure B-sides (Slow Down, Matchbox, etc.) I didn't even realise existed until recently.

@MrMoonlight Should point out, neither of the b-sides you name were b-sides, they were both off the Long Tall Sallyep.

Speaking for me, myself and I, I hated it when non-album singles became the exception and not the norm. I can still remember a news story where Michael Jackson was criticised for, I think, the 7th ...]]>
